A Father's Best Advocate

As the father, I needed an attorney who would fight for me and my rights. Larry Hoffman is that attorney. I wanted to be more than a stick figure in my daughter's life. He made a positive impact the minute he started on my case. He and Terry Whitmarsh have worked overtime to help me making sure I'...m completely involved in my daughter's life. He always took my calls, answered all of my questions, worked to make sure I understood what the process was, and always had the best interests of my daughter and I at the forefront. He had a solid working relationship with the guardian ad litem in my case and was able to create communication between the two of us so she knew how I felt about everything. He's been there every step of the way protecting my daughter and protecting me in the process. Larry works well with the other attorneys and has solid experience in bitter family disputes. He works hard to find the best option for everyone. I would recommend Larry Hoffman to any father who wants to be an integral part of their kids' lives. If you want someone who is going to fight for you and your kids, choose Larry Hoffman. He is the best!

They call him “The Country Club Lawyer”

I hired Mr. Hoffman many years ago and kept him on my high conflict divorce case for many years. I was new to the divorce world and didn’t know any better. Hoffman was, like many attorneys, hard to reach. No, I did not call him and email him several times a day; I simply sent one email, and sometimes... waited 4-7 business days for a response. I was very organized and sent him detailed notes. He never reviewed them or remembered the details, and like with others who reviewed him here, he would then walk into court and quote incorrect facts despite me providing all the correct and relevant facts to him before court. He didn’t actively manage my case, or get on top of the extreme conflict, thereby never assisting to nip it in the bud from the early days and leaving me with a legacy of unresolved conflict. There are simple tools he could have requested the court order in my case to calm things down, like the Our Family Wizard family portal that tracks emails, expenses, and kids’ events online. He never had the thought to even ask for this on my case despite the high conflict. I have hired two attorneys since his work on my case, each many times better at managing a high conflict divorce and remembering case details. They have cared about my case. Hoffman didn’t have any personal investment in my case, didn’t seem to want to calm things down, and was arrogant particularly in court. I’ve since learned he’s called the “Country Club Lawyer” because he is viewed by his lawyer peers as the guy who has family money and just wants to play golf, but has a law business just to look reputable and functioning. If you have a super simple case with no drama, maybe he’d be OK to hire. Otherwise, you can pick almost any other lawyer’s name out of the phone book and do better than him.

Would hire again

I worked with Larry and his paralegal Terry on my lengthy complicated divorce. They are a great team and I would highly recommend them. Very knowledgeable and very professional. They kept me in the loop throughout the whole process, they were very responsive to my many phone calls and emails. They ...didn't have me take any unnecessary steps that would be a waste of time or money. In terms of costs my legal fees were much lower than my exes legal fees. Overall I am very satisfied with the performance and results from their team.

Reputable attorney

Larry is a reputable attorney and works in multiple counties. I am offended by the reviews simply because in his line of work if you do not magically make a person's problems disappear they are angry. If they call you 5 times a day or send you 5 emails a day, you cannot possibly answer them all. L...arry has handled my divorce and custody case and I trust him 100%. The reality is, you do not always get your way. Divorce is ugly.

Do not hire

Terrribe lawyer, doesn’t return calls, very expensive, the worst experience I’ve ever had, my case was a divorce, doesn’t do any of the work, it was horrible. He had no idea what was going on, made no sense in court, beware of him. I would give no stars if I could...
